Parcel tracking and speed are also important at 52% and 50%, respectively. SMEs also cited receiving notifications, out-of-home options and the choice to reschedule delivery as desirable.

🚚 Delivery as a driver of business success We have recently released our B2B Recipient Barometer, a study on the views and preferences of companies across Europe to help us gauge the ideal delivery experience for businesses. 86% of SMEs think delivery is essential for the success of their business activities. Nearly half say price is the most important when choosing a supplier, followed by quality and trustworthiness. Other deciding factors include immediate availability, longer invoicing time and peer recommendation. 58% of SMEs want to choose the company to deliver their parcels, but only 15% can do so. This suggests a potential opportunity for couriers to offer recipients the option to choose the carrier themselves. Find out more in our report here: https://lnkd.in/emc_vqSr

#WorldCleanupDay2024 Yesterday, our people came together for a second year to play our part in keeping our community clean. With more than 20 volunteers, we walked around our headquarters in Ville d'Issy-les-Moulineaux on a one-hour litter pick. And we even broke last year's record by collecting 64kg of trash and 3kg of cigarette butts. A huge thank you to all our people who contributed to this effort! #Environment #Sustainability #Teamwork
